From page 169...
... Its importance in the magnetic reconnection process has already been mentioned. Another example, especially well studied from the standpoint of observations, modeling, and theory, is equatorial spread-F, a fluid-like turbulence in which flux tubes interchange in the low-latitude regions of Earth's collisional ionosphere Large-Scale Flows The outward flow of the solar wind is one of the permanent features of space plasmas.
